In today's fast-paced business environment, organizations need to adapt and improve their ways of working to keep up with competitors. This change is putting more pressure on Human Resources (HR) and their ability to implement transformation projects to become more efficient, automated, and data-driven. Organizations invest enormous amounts of resources to implement these HR transformation pro

PurposeThis paper investigates and evaluates the temperature performance of cold food supply chains (FSCs) in relation to product shelf life in order to provide suggestions for food waste mitigation and food safety management in FSCs. Design/methodology/approachField tests were conducted to collect temperature data from Swedish FSCs, from production to retail cold storage, and during retail displa
Human behavior plays a central role in an environmentally sustainable world. Organisations also have a significant environmental impact, with many allocating resources to the development of more sustainable products and technology. However, pro-environmental behavior in the workplace is often overlooked, despite the substantial opportunity organisations have to influence it. This study encourages
Cities are increasingly affected by heat-absorbing surfaces such as asphalt and concrete, which contributes to the urban heat island effect. To lower these effects and improve the urban environment, urban planners, architects and engineers implement vegetation and green infrastructure to reduce surface temperatures. Existing solutions include green roofs, permeable pavements, and public green spac
Forests are important ecosystems worldwide and in Sweden, where over half of the land is forested. Forestry management strategies significantly impact ecosystem productivity and carbon sequestration. This study focuses on comparing two prevalent forestry management strategies: Rotation Forestry (RF), which uses clearcutting as the prevalent timber extraction method, and Continuous Cover Forestry (
Background and aimHypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in unconscious patients resuscitated after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Many patients die after withdrawal of life-sustaining treatments (WLST), often due to a presumed poor prognosis. To minimise the risk of premature WLST, guidelines recommend using a multimodal prognostication. Head compute
As international cross-border tax planning increasingly tests domestic legal frameworks,Sweden has relied on a patchwork of different provisions to combat treaty abuse. Throughthe dynamic interplay between its domestic anti-avoidance rules and international treatyprovisions, Sweden has occasionally deployed its targeted Specific Anti-Avoidance Rules(SAARs) and even discussed the possibility of app
Popular Abstract in Swedish Under de senaste åren har det svenska samhället förändrats när det gäller dess förhållande till religion och till Svenska kyrkan. Från att ha varit en statskyrka fram till år 2000 och därmed tidigare tillhört enhetskulturen och varit en majoritets kyrka, är Svenska kyrka idag en kyrka som är fri från staten och verkar i ett mångkulturellt samhälle där många olika kulturThe tradition for teenagers to participate in confirmation groups and be confirmed was formerly very strong in Sweden. Up to the 1970s, approximately 80-90 % of all young Swedes were confirmed. But in 2007, these courses were only attended by 37 %, according to the latest Church of Sweden statistics (Svenska kyrkan 2007a). The Aim of the thesis is: Using a Bildung perspective, the aim of the prese
The purpose of the project has been to investigate how people dwell and furnish in recently build apartments. The project consists of a dwelling survey where 14 tenants in four different types of apartments, architects, realtors and an availability expert are interviewed to give their view on how Swedish regulations regarding housing corresponds to how people live, and want to live. The project co
Idrotten har en särskild position i samhället och behandlas därför därefter. T.ex. särbehandlas idrottsrörelsen genom att de allmänna och rättsliga reglernas tillämpningsområde begränsas gentemot idrotten. Detta är särskilt tydligt på straffrättens område då många idrotter utövas med olika grader av våld vilket accepteras av såväl samhället som rättsväsendet. Syftet med denna uppsats är därför attSports have a special position in the society and are therefore treated accordingly. For example does the community treat sport differently by limiting the scope of the general and legal rules towards the sports movement. This is particularly clear in criminal law, as many sports are exercised with different degrees of violence, which is accepted by both the society and the judiciary. The purpose
Using Small-Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS) we have studied the flux line lattices of the first heavy-fermion superconductor to be discovered, CeCu2Si2, the well-known high-temperature superconductor YBa2Cu3O7, along with Ca-doped variants of this compound, and several topological superconductor candidates that have attracted a lot of attention in the last few years, such as PbTaSe2, Au2Pb and β-B
Heart rate variability (HRV) is a measure of the variation in the time intervals between heartbeats. HRV can provide insights into the condition of the heart as well as the state and interaction of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. HRV can be measured over shorter periods (5 minutes) or longer periods (up to 24 hours). Similar to pulse, HRV is linked to respiratory rate. During
The aim of this study was to investigate mental health and emotion regulation strategies of unaccompanied asylum-seeking children and adolescents. A survey was conducted, using questionnaires that also contained queries regarding the participants’ belief of the future. A total of 95 boys in the ages of 13 to 17 years old, living in seven refugee housing facilities, answered the questionnaire “The
Manufacturing of biopharmaceuticals is a costly and time consuming process due to its inherent complexity and variability. The downstream process is the most expensive part and it involves multiple non-trivial steps. Continuous integrated manufacturing is a new concept that is encouraged by authorities. The advantages include uninterrupted operation, automation, consistent product quality, lower rManufacturing of biopharmaceuticals is a costly and time consuming process due to its inherent complexity and variability.

The paper investigates the phenomenon of double exploitation in ’passionate work’, where workers are exploiting themselves in their dedication to work and colleagues, simultaneously as being exposed to exploitation by employers and the industry at large. The study is based on an analysis of semi-structured interviews with game developers employed in the Swedish digital games industry.

In the field of operations and supply chain management (OSCM), the customer order decoupling point (CODP) hasi been recognized as an important strategic parameter for roughly 30 years. It is the point in the value chain where forecast-driven material flows get separated from order -driven material flows. Despite its long history in the field, multiple calls for further consideration of the CODP inIn the field of operations and supply chain management (OSCM), the customer order decoupling point (CODP) hasbeen recognized as an important strategic parameter for roughly 30 years.
